Because Wellbeing Doesn’t Come from an Extra Hour - It Comes from What You Do with It
_____________________________________________________________________________
☀️ The Sneaky Science Bit (We’ll Keep It Short)
You’ve technically just gained an hour. Cute idea, right? The universe hands you sixty bonus minutes like a participation trophy for surviving October.
Except if you woke up foggy, moody or weirdly wired, that “extra hour” might already be backfiring. Because daylight savings doesn’t just mess with your calendar. It messes with you.
Your body runs on light. Morning light triggers cortisol (your “get up and go” hormone). Darkness triggers melatonin (your “go to sleep” hormone). So when we suddenly change the clocks, your brain’s like, “Wait… is it morning? Is it night? What even is time?” and your hormones panic accordingly.

😩 Why It Hits Women Harder
If you’re a woman juggling work, screens, hormones and that mental load that never clocks off, your system’s already stretched thin.
When the clocks change, your circadian rhythm gets scrambled, your cortisol spikes, and your melatonin sulks in protest.
Add peri-menopause, PMS or chronic screen time, and you’ve got the perfect storm for daylight savings fatigue.
So if you feel foggy, snacky, or just emotionally off, it’s not your fault. It’s your hormones throwing shade at daylight savings.

🧡 The Reframe: You Didn’t Gain an Hour, You Gained a Chance
What if you used that “bonus hour” to feel better instead of doing more?
Because wellbeing doesn’t come from extra time, it comes from what you do with it.

🕰️ Your “Make-It-Matter” Sunday Plan
1️⃣ Get Real Light, Early
Your body clock runs on light like a solar panel. Step outside, even if it’s grey or you’re still in pyjamas.
Try it with our Morning Reset Session - the perfect light-plus-movement combo.
2️⃣ Move, But Kindly
No HIIT needed. Just enough movement to tell your nervous system, “We’re fine.”
Walk. Stretch. Dance in your kitchen. (Yes, that counts.)
3️⃣ Midday Pause
The extra hour doesn’t mean “extra productivity.” It means you have space to breathe.
Take seven minutes with our Take A Breather session.
Think of it as CTRL-ALT-DEL for your mind.
4️⃣ Go Old-School at Night
Earlier darkness tricks your body into thinking bedtime’s been cancelled.
Dim the lights. Put your phone on night shift.
Then play the Unwind & Relax Your Body to remind your body what rest feels like
